SME Platform Dependency
We measure the strategic dependency of Türkiye's SMEs on digital platforms, analyze the associated risks, and develop policy recommendations.

Approach
We treat SMEs' platform relationship not as that of passive users, but as that of stakeholders with asymmetric bargaining power. We conduct empirical analysis of commission structures, pricing policies, and unilateral changes.
